We ended up having to book last minute and Emma came through for us and our babies! She set up a meet and greet with us to make sure our dogs got a chance to meet her prior to our trip. She kept us updated daily and sent photos as well! We will definitely will be booking again in the future! She is great and we highly recommend!

This was my first time using Rover, but I was going to some theme parks for 2 days and brought my dogs with me from out of town. I knew I couldn't leave them for hours without a potty break, and I have to admit I was anxious since this is the first time using a service like this, but Carli was awesome the entire way through! I'm super grateful to have the option for someone to come walk my dogs and I'm super grateful Carli was so communicative and my dogs were taken care of! I'm coming back to use the rest of my park tickets, and I will definitely book her again. Thank you Carli!!

About: I have over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including two dogs and a cat. Through the years, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from active younger pets to seniors requiring extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, giving plenty of affection, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. An added perk, I am currently working remote from home and will be able to be home with your pets the majority of the day! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with flexibility for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins. I am home most of the day and can give pets the attention and care they need while maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with owners to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. As a longtime pet owner, I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, maintaining their routines, and paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. I am committed to providing a clean home, close supervision, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, I am able to be present throughout the day and provide companionship, bathroom breaks, and regular attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own.

About: Check out my recent pictures showing all kinds of doggy(s) in their own element. You can find photos below. Hey! My name is Liza & I run this Rover account. I’m sure your doggy(s) will love this place. It’s like a Dream land for sure. Please don’t forget to leave a review. I love taking care of dogs! Taking care of them as if they were my own & treat them as family. If you’re seeking for someone with experience, than you’re in the correct spot. I have experience taking care of many different breeds for instance Great Pyrenees, Poodles, German Shepards, Australian Shepards, Pitbulls, & Border Collies just to name a few. I’ve also taken care of many of friends' dogs & family's dogs, back in New York, whenever they are busy or go on vacation. I always keep track of every dog's needs (ex: Feeding time, potty time, and any necessary meds). *Important*: During the holiday season it is likely that I will take care of more than 3 dogs at once. This includes Thunder. My sister’s Dog. ***If you would like me to take care of only your dog(s) there will be a small upcharge. Please let me know if you would like this service. - All dogs must have all updated vaccinations. Availability: Every day unless listed as not available or Away on the calendar. I do work remotely. This allows me to have time to take care of your dog(s). Your dog will get a lot of playtime with other dogs. Sometimes, Thunder my sister’s may be around. He is a sweetheart. Your doggy(s) will be free to roam indoors & outside the backyard. There’s a fenced-in yard with a pool! Your dog(s) can have a swim if he/she chooses to and will be monitored at all times. Thunder loves making new dog friends. So your dog(s) will have a great amount of playtime with Thunder if he is around. We will give your dog(s) lots of love and cuddles.

About: I have had several cats throughout my life and enjoy taking care and spending time with them. I also love taking care of dogs and enjoy running and walking with them. I’m very patient with animals and will give them all the attention that’s needed. I’m available every day of the week! I am available early mornings and evenings and even open on the weekends! I’ll just need a heads up on the times before hand. I have a few cats that are indoor/outdoor, but always bring them in at night. I am very attentive to my animals and ones that I care for. I always give them time of the day to play and get their energy out. I am very energetic so I can give them walks and play time as much as possible.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have worked professionally as a dog groomer for the past 2 years. My experience includes puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, small breeds, anxious dogs, and dogs that require extra patience and gentle handling. As a professional groomer, I safely handle dogs every day while providing baths, blowouts, haircuts, nail trims, ear cleaning, de-shedding treatments, and coat maintenance. This experience has taught me how to recognize signs of stress, keep dogs comfortable, and create a calm, positive environment. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, boarding, or simply needs companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, plenty of affection, and updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. (Services) - Dog Sitting - Doggy Day Care - Dog Walking - Drop-In Visits - Professional Grooming (Price varies $65 - $160) - Baths - Nail Trims - Ear Cleaning - Deshedding - Puppy Care - Senior Dog Care - Administering Medication Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare, drop-in visits, walks, and boarding whenever available. My goal is to provide every pet with plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and a consistent routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a first-floor APARTMENT with plenty of room to relax, along with access to a large, pet-friendly community featuring multiple grassy areas, sidewalks, walking trails, and a dog park for exercise and enrichment. As a professional dog groomer, I’m experienced handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and exercise. Pets are always supervised, treated like family, and you’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I worked at Big Dog Ranch Rescue down in South Florida for 2 years before moving to Orlando and working at a dog daycare at a veterinary hospital in Winter Park. I worked at the dog daycare for 9 months before transferring to their pharmaceutical department. I also own 2 cats of my own and fostered a pitbull named Koa for 7 months before he got adopted. I adore animals, and would love to be able to take care of them in my free time. I currently work full time, monday through friday 8am-5pm, however I would love to drop in on weekends or holidays if need be to walk dogs or take care of cats. I have walked many different dogs ranging from 5lbs to 130lbs, and have no issue walking them on a leash. I have experienced dogs with a variety of behavioral issues such as food aggression and toy possession.

About: Stress-Free Environment Calm, safe, and home-like setting that keeps dogs happy, not anxious. I’m also reliable and communicative—pet parents can count on regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they're away. With experience handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, I go beyond basic care by providing personalized attention, emotional comfort, and plenty of love. I treat pet sitting as a responsibility and a priority, I build in time for everything from play sessions to medication schedules, keeping flexibility for any last-minute needs. My routine is built to support dependability, consistency, and compassion—three things every pet needs when away from their family. When pets stay in my home, I strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces for rest, toys for enrichment, and designated areas for feeding and play. I stick closely to their usual routines, including walk times, feeding schedules, and any special care or medications they need.

Danielle did great with taking care of my two dogs and cat while we were away. She went above and beyond with her communication, sending pics and taking her time walking and feeding the pets. She even helped clean up with one of my dogs who had a poopy situation which was not at all expected, I felt bad my dog got runs while I was away. But she helped give him sweet potato so he felt better and even bought peewee pads, which just kept my mind at ease knowing my dog was being cared for. I would definitely rehire her again, she was just the best!

About: Hi! My name is Sydnie. I am friendly, energetic, patient, and willing to work with your schedule. I currently work as an instructional designer, so my schedule is flexible. I will provide excellent care for your pets, making sure all aspects of your instructions are tended to with care and that detailed updates are given. I have been watching dogs for friends and family for about 8 years now, mostly working with medium to large dogs, though I love dogs of all shapes and sizes (no breed discrimination). I believe that each dog has a unique personality and will tailor each drop-in, walk, or overnight stay to your pet’s needs. I look forward to working with you and you're Rover! As a freelance worker, I have flexible time available to pet sit. Currently, I pet sit for family and friends about once or twice a month. Each pet requires different care and attention. I will make sure to go over your pets’ likes and dislikes, as well as routine in our first initial meetup. I feel comfortable meeting the needs of a variety of size and ages of pet.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl. Everything from puppies to exotic sugar gliders, I even have experience house sitting for working farms. I truly enjoy providing safe and loving care to other peoples animals. Any special instructions on how you care for your pets will be followed. Thunderstorm, anxiety, and firework situations are also understandable and can be accommodated. I will comfort them as best as I can! *CONSTANT CARE POLICY If your pet has a medical condition or non-medical reasons in which they require constant care, this sitter will exercise the choice to modify the standard house-sitting request rate to reflect the change in type of care to add $100 per night per individual requiring constant care. Additional pets that do not require constant care will reflect the normal Additional Pet rate (found on Services tab). I work an eight hour day M-F. I’m happy to provide lunch time check ins. If your pet can’t be alone for 4-5 hours they would need to be booked at a constant care rate. In your home I am a mature, trustworthy, and tidy caretaker. Always trying to leave things a little better than i found them. Happy to take on some light home management responsibilities during my stay, just ask.

I’m so grateful for the exceptional care Princess received. Not only did Matthew accept a last-minute walk request on Thanksgiving, but he also went above and beyond during every visit. His walk notes were detailed and thoughtful, and I loved the adorable little stories he shared about my dog “chatting” with the other dogs along the way. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys what he does. Matthew treated Princess with so much kindness, and it meant a lot to hear him say how good she was. His reliability, positivity, and attention to detail truly set him apart. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and professional dog walker. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in such good hands. Thank you Matt!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Forest City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest City on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,301 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Forest City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Forest City.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest City. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
